This restraint is 700 mm long, 440 mm wide and 480 mm high (with the handle down). Check the measurement between the front of the seat back of the rear seat and all front seats in the car in which the restraint is intended to be used to ensure the space available is sufficient. Ensure that children have adequate ventilation and shade when in the vehicle. Seat belt extenders are not recommended if the car seat belt is too short to secure the child restraint. If the car seat belt is too short get advice from a child restraint fitter regarding use of these.

Shoulder Strap Height Correct positioning of the shoulder straps is essential for your baby's safety. Requirement The shoulder straps must be in the slots that are nearest to the child's shoulders, but not lower than the child's shoulders. The straps should be in the next available shoulder strap slots above your baby's shoulders.
To Check 1 With child placed in the restraint, note where the shoulder straps enter the slots in the backrest. If adjustment is needed follow the next steps.
To Adjust 2 With child removed, loosen harness. Turn carrier over and remove one shoulder strap harness loop from the metal splitter plate.

3 Pull loose end of harness loop out through slot and place in correct slot.
4 Re-attach to splitter plate. 5 Repeat with the other shoulder strap.
This restraint has a shoulder height level label. Use this to gauge when your child is too big for the restraint. Once your child's shoulders reach the dotted line, it is time to move to a bigger restraint. See page 22.

Installation — ISOFIX Compatible Connectors IMPORTANT: ISOFIX compatible connectors are an option and may not be fitted to your product. General Some vehicles are fitted with low anchorage points specifically designed to allow connection by suitably equipped child restraints. These are generally known as ISOFIX low anchorage points are found at the bottom of the back seat backrest. If the ISOFIX low anchorage points are not clearly visible the vehicle seat will be marked with appropriate labels to show their location.
ISOFIX Typical marking showing location of ISOFIX low anchorage points.
These vehicles are marked with symbols adjacent to the location of the anchorage points. If in doubt that the vehicle is fitted with such points check the vehicle Owners Manual. Some vehicles sourced from the USA may be marked LATCH. ISOFIX and LATCH low anchorage points are identical.
LATCH 27
See general installation instructions on page 23 & 24. 1 Some models come with guides for the ISOFIX compatible connectors. These are for use in cars where the anchorage bar is recessed a long way into the seats and once fitted will help guide the ISOFIX connector into place. 2 To use these:
• locate the position of the ISOFIX low anchorage,
• slide the guide in until it contacts the steel rod
• allow the guide to push up until it is secure on the steel rod.
